Testing Mendix

Why is testing Mendix a challenge. When should you consider test automation for your Mendix app

Companies are scaling up their Mendix deployment

Scaling up results in:

  • More apps per Mendix customer
  • More business critical apps
  • More complex apps

 

Therefore:

  • The chance that errors occur increases
  • The impact of errors increases

“Deploying Mendix at scale requires a test strategy”

As Mendix suggests, you need a structured approach with proper attention for quality controls such as testautomation when deploying Mendix at scale

Testing of Mendix apps is challenging

Situation:

  • Mendix apps are developed and changed at a fast pace
  • Manual (regression) testing costs too much time and slows down the speed of new releases
  • Test automation is expensive to maintain
  • Test automation is often not Mendix specific and requires the development of screens and API’s for test purposes only
  • Test automation is not adaptable at the speed of Mendix development, this leads to a test debt
  • Test automation requires a different skillset that is often not available in Mendix teams

Consequence:

  • Testing is taking place, but too slow and with a too low coverage. A potential time bomb is ticking…
